From Naija Ratels’ commanding performance in Makurdi to Ibom Angels’ dramatic late strike, every match told its own compelling story as GW8 served up a thrilling mix of late winners, dominant victories, and crucial points in the battle for playoff spots.

Group A

Ekiti Queens 0-1 Edo Queens

Edo Queens continue their push at the top with a narrow 1-0 win over Ekiti Queens in Ilorin. Rebecca Adegbemile’s 68th-minute goal proved decisive, further solidifying Edo’s title ambitions. Ekiti Queens, still struggling to find consistency, remain winless on the road this season.

Confluence Queens 1-0 Heartland Queens

Confluence Queens finally grabbed their first points of the season with a tense 1-0 victory over Heartland Queens. Peace Ikediuba’s 23rd-minute penalty was enough to end their losing streak, but questions remain about their long-term survival in the league.

Nasarawa Amazons 1-0 Remo Stars Ladies

A hard-fought contest in Lafia ended in heartbreak for Remo Stars Ladies as Nasarawa Amazons stole all three points in stoppage time. Jenat Akekeromowei converted a 90th-minute penalty to hand the home side a much-needed win, halting RSL’s impressive momentum.

Abia Angels 2-0 Dannaz Ladies

Abia Angels continue their strong form with a 2-0 victory over Dannaz Ladies. A Toyibat Abdulazeez own goal in the 30th minute gave them the lead, and Chiamaka Ojialor sealed the win just eight minutes later. Abia Angels now look increasingly like a playoff contender.

Group B

Bayelsa Queens 3-0 FC Robo Queens

Bayelsa Queens made a statement in Yenagoa with a commanding 3-0 win over FC Robo Queens. Alaba Olabiyi opened the scoring in the 21st minute before Shakirat Moshood’s quickfire brace put the result beyond doubt. Bayelsa Queens remain a force to be reckoned with as they climb the table.

Benue Queens 0-4 Naija Ratels

Naija Ratels flexed their attacking muscle with a ruthless 4-0 win over Benue Queens. Anu Awotidoye starred with a hat-trick while Jenat Ikpa added another in the 58th minute. Benue Queens' struggles continue, while Ratels solidify their playoff charge.

Ibom Angels 1-0 Delta Queens

Ibom Angels snatched a dramatic late win over Delta Queens thanks to Uwah Abasiofon’s 90th-minute goal. It was a crucial victory for the home side, while Delta Queens failed to build on their recent momentum.

With six games left in the regular season, the playoff race is heating up. What other twists do we expect in the subsequent gameweeks?
